Our good friend Mario Gastelum sent out a press release today announcing yet another 10-inch netbook from the folks at Smoothcreations.

This new baby is called the "Wedge" since it will supposedly, err wedge, into any tight place. It features the usual kick ass Smoothcreations paint job with several scary-looking skulls on the front under the keyboard and a large single skull on the back side of the screen.

AMD's AIBs, appear to be stepping up to the challenge of expressing their creativity, through non-reference graphics card solutions and, we appear to be in the midst of a frenzy at the moment.

Sapphire Technology, for example, has intoxicated the HD 4870 earlier today and now, seems set on liquefying it too.

Team Group has today announced its latest high-end overclocking series DDR3 memory.

The so-called "Overclocking Heroic Duo" DDR3 memory by Team comes in a 4GB dual-channel kit and runs at either 2000MHz or 1800MHz DDR. The modules feature an 8-layer PCB design and over-sized Xtreem heatsink to keep things nice and cool.

HTC today took the covers off its latest phone and this one is a truly a stunning gem of a product. Say hello to the Touch HD - it's packed with features we don't even know where to begin.

Oh yes, starting things off it gets a fancy large 3.8-inch wide-screen 480 x 800 WVGA display. That is a full one inch larger than the original Touch. HTC also packs in its TouchFLO 3D user interface over the top of the installed Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. HTC reckon its interface is much better than what Microsoft came up (and we wouldn't disagree agree with that), making it quicker and easier to call people, access messages and so on.

HP has come out of its shell a bit with some mice and keyboards that most would have thought the likes of HP wouldn't dare tackle up against the competition.

CrunchGear has spotted these two rodents which are said to both carry similar specs including variable DPI adjustment from 400 to 2400, 500MHz polling rate, various profile settings and a quality laser-based sensor.

From all the coverage and photos that hit the web during Computex'08 earlier in the year, some of you may remember seeing a sword and armor weilding lass gathering quite a bit of attention amongst the other promotional girls at Thermaltakes booth.

Noone has understood anything about this characters background, what she represents or how she is affiliated with Thermaltake exactly; until now, that is.

Sapphire sent word today that it has taken the covers off its Radeon HD 4870 TOXIC Edition graphics card.

It includes a fancy Vapor-X cooler which is Sapphire's implementation of Vapour Chamber Technology (VCT). It promises to offer better and quieter cooling performance than others on the market with its three heatpipe cooling setup.

Power Supply manufacturer Topower has just announced a rather dazzling new offering with REMI cable coating/green LEDs and a Mystic Dark Green titanium mirror finish.

The PSU boasts 850W of continuous power with the ability to handle 950W in the rare instance it's needed. It has an efficiency of over 80%, also carrying ATX 1.3 and 2.01 compliance along with active PFC. What's even more impressive is the six individual 12V rails.

The successor to Windows Vista may hit Beta status before the turn of the year, according to this report from ZDNet.

Whilst privileged few have worked with Microsoft on two milestone builds, namely M1 and M2, M3 will precede an actual Beta version of the OS which Microsoft hopes will repair Vista's poor image.

NVIDIA is preparing to up the ante and stoke up its challenge, against AMD's HD 4800 series, with a tweaked GTX 260 part.

Beefing up the number of Shader Processors from 192 to 216, appears to be the order of the day and, the GTX 260 has been caught on camera by Bear Eyes to boot.
